- Competition: UEFA Champions League
- Date: 9th December, 2025
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
- Venue: Stade Louis II
On Tuesday, Stade Louis II will host a decisive clash between Monaco and Galatasaray as the two clubs meet in the final matchday of the Champions League league phase before the New Year. With Galatasaray sitting on 9 points and Monaco on 6, both sides have a clear incentive - Monaco looking to salvage their European campaign, while Galatasaray aim to secure a spot in the top eight and build momentum ahead of the winter break.
H2H stats
Historically, Monaco hold the edge over Galatasaray: across their six previous meetings, Monaco have won three, drawn one, and lost two. The last time both teams faced each other was back in the 2000/01 season, when Monaco claimed a 4-2 win.
Monaco team overview
Monaco’s domestic and European form has been inconsistent this season. In Ligue 1 2025/26, they have a mediocre record of 7 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses so far. Their home performances have been notably stronger (5 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses) compared to their more erratic away results.
In the Champions League group phase, Monaco remain unbeaten in their last four matches (W1, D3) despite some shaky moments - such as a 2-2 draw away to Pafos followed by underwhelming domestic form. Still, they are unbeaten after their first two UCL home fixtures at Stade Louis II and should feel reasonably confident heading into this match on Tuesday.

Galatasaray team overview
Galatasaray come into the match with 9 points and recent Champions League form that had shown promise. Before their most recent fixture - an unexpected 1-0 home defeat to Belgian Pro League side Union Saint-Gilloise - they had put together three straight wins in the competition. That loss also ended a long home-unbeaten run that had stretched back more than a year.
A significant blow for Galatasaray had been the absence of their star forward Victor Osimhen, who reportedly suffered a hamstring strain and missed several recent matches - including the defeat to Union SG - noticeably reducing their attacking potency. However, the Nigerian striker made his comeback from injury over the weekend and even scored the winning goal in stoppage time against Samsunspor, offering a major boost ahead of Tuesday’s trip to Monaco.

Prediction
Given all factors, this match promises to be a tight but potentially open clash. Monaco have home advantage and need a win to strengthen their position in the race for securing direct qualification to the round of 16. But Galatasaray, with Osimhen back and scoring goals, will not roll over. We predict both teams to score.
Prediction: BTTS.
Three reasons we expect BTTS
- Galatasaray have scored in four of their last five Champions League matches.
- Monaco have also scored in four of their last five Champions League encounters.
- BTTS has landed in three of Monaco’s last five matches across all competitions, whereas Galatasaray have failed to keep a clean sheet in five successive matches.
